Editorial Reviews

"A Shakespearean reckoning, lush with psychological and historical nuance, of the fateful symmetry between the personal and the political." ---Diane McWhorter, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Carry Me Home

From the Publisher

This astonishing book sheds new light on the assassination of President Kennedy and the role of its many players, including the Castros. It reads not only like a thriller, but like a movie scenario.

NPR commentator and author of Come to Think of It& Daniel Schorr

This well-written investigative discourse promises the final answers to the controversy of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The biographical format jumps among three parties—the Kennedys, the Castros, and Lee Harvey Oswald—all alleged by the authors to be connected to the murder plot. Weaving such a Cold War web of intrigue amid so many cultures poses a supreme challenge for narrator Paul Boehmer. Without effort or error, he slips through Russian, German, and the Boston accent of John Kennedy himself. However, Boehmer’s Spanish sometimes has weaknesses, and he never attempts the English of a Spanish speaker. Boehmer’s soft voice, impeccable diction, and easy pace allow him to slip into the background, letting the strength of the prose and the complexity of the relationships described be the focus for listeners.
